What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a beautiful week. As of Monday, October 29th, we will start with a new theme “My Community and Me”. For the next 5 weeks children will learn about the community where they live, the community helpers, the community public and private places. Children will be exploring the community we are living through songs, games and other activities.
This first week children will acquire knowledge about the roles and functions of community helpers. This theme will foster in children respect and admiration towards community helpers for the job that they perform. They will also participate in activities that are going to allow them to relate closer with community helpers.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences that help kids explore everything related to our community in different ways. Through practical actions we will keep enlightening kids about importance of our community. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Below you can find a summary of all activities during the week:

Year-Round
Activities
Student of the Week &
Travelling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your child for these wonderful activities as
these 2 are the children favorites! Both activities allow every child to make
and share memories with their classmates.
For the student of the week activity, every week a child is given a set
week that he/she are the student of the week. On Monday of their week the
student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family
pictures, favorite books, sports/hobbies, animals or anything they are
interested in. Also, on their week parents and the student of the week may pick
a day to present the poster and the book to the class. The student of the week
may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with
classmates.
As for the Traveling Pet activity, the classroom pet will spend a whole
week with the child and family. During that week, parents and the child will
have fun together with a new member of the family while providing love and care
to the pet. Our pet loves to read at night, go to the park, visit museums, give
hugs and kisses! However, the pet does not like taking a bath as he can get
sick. Parents and child will enjoy bonding time and making new memories and the
child will be very excited to share all the memories with his/her classmates.
In their week parents and the child should bring to school a collage of
pictures and a brief description of what they did with the pet. Parent should
make sure to place the collage inside the travelling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the
entrance of the classroom.

Conozco mucha mucha gente
